The first master, master restricted, or maintenance electrician’s license will be issued to a successful applicant upon payment of the proper license fee and receipt of a signed license application form. Renewals may be obtained by an application to the Board and payment of the renewal fee during a period of 3 months preceding the expiration of the license. All persons registered as electricians in Baltimore City on April 30, 1983, and on June 30, 1983, are automatically licensed under this subtitle for the period May 1, 1983, or July 1, 1983, through December 31, 1983, without payment of a fee, and are subject to all its applicable provisions. A licensee who holds a valid electrical license from the Board may be classified as inactive status, during which time he shall not install, maintain, service, or repair electrical wires, conductors, or apparatus for heat, light, or power purposes. The licensee may retain his license on an inactive basis upon payment of an annual renewal fee. A bond must be secured in order for the licensee to return to active status. All licenses expire as of January 1 of each year, and are subject to a renewal fee. Any person, firm, or corporation who desires to renew a license after the expiration date but prior to March 1 will be subject to a payment of a delinquent fee of $35. Any person, firm, or corporation who fails to renew a license by March 1 of any year shall be treated as a new applicant and will be subjected to the same exam as new applicants and be required to pay the same fees. Any person, firm, or corporation which renews its license between January 1, 1984 and March 1, 1984 shall not be subject to a renewal fee and shall not be required to take the same examination as a new applicant.
